Introduction 1-3
This guide and other 6SSRM-02 documentation refers to the 6SSRM-02’s Layer-2, Layer-3, and
Layer-4 switching and routing. These layers are based on the International Standards Organization
(ISO) 7-layer reference model. Here is an example of that model. The 6SSRM-02 operates within
the layers that are not shaded. Notice that Layer-2 is divided into an LLC layer and a MAC layer.
The 6SSRM-02 operates at the MAC layer but not the LLC layer.

TCP/UDP Services
The following table lists some well known TCP/UDP services provided by the 6SSRM-02.
Features
This section describes the following 6SSRM-02 features:
• Address-based and flow-based bridging
• Port-based VLANs and protocol-based VLANs
• IP and IPX routing
• Layer-4 (application) switching
• Security
• Quality of Service (QoS)
• Statistics
• Management
Bridging
The 6SSRM-02 provides the following types of high-speed bridging:
• Address-based bridging – The 6SSRM-02 performs this type of bridging by looking up the
destination address in an L2 lookup table on the line card that receives the bridge packet from
the network. The L2 lookup table indicates the exit port(s) for the bridged packet. If the packet
is addressed to the 6SSRM-02’s own MAC address, the packet is routed rather than bridged.
Table 1-2 TCP/UDP services
TCP Port UDP Port Description
23 Telnet
161 SNMP
67 BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent
520 Routed
Features
Introduction 1-5
• Flow-based bridging – The 6SSRM-02 performs this type of bridging by looking up an entry
in the L2 lookup table containing both the source and destination addresses of the bridge packet.
Your choice of bridging method does not affect 6SSRM-02 performance. However, address-based
bridging is more efficient because it requires fewer table entries while flow-based bridging
provides tighter management and control over bridged traffic.
The 6SSRM-02 ports perform address-based bridging by default, but can be configured to perform
flow-based bridging instead of address-based bridging on a per-port basis. A port cannot be
configured to perform both types of bridging at the same time.
Port and Protocol VLANs
The 6SSRM-02 supports the following types of Virtual LANs (VLANs):
• Port-based VLANs – A port-based VLAN is a set of ports that comprises a Layer-2 broadcast
domain. The 6SSRM-02 confines MAC-layer broadcasts to the ports in the VLAN on which
the broadcast originates. 6SSRM-02 ports outside the VLAN do not receive the broadcast.
• Protocol-based VLANs – A protocol-based VLAN is a named set of ports that comprises an
IP or IPX broadcast domain. The 6SSRM-02 confines IP or IPX broadcasts to the ports within
the IP or IPX based VLAN. Protocol-based VLANs sometimes are called subnet VLANs or
Layer-3 VLANs.
You can include the same port in more than one VLAN, even in both port-based and
protocol-based VLANs. Moreover, you can define VLANs that span across multiple
6SSRM-02s. To simplify VLAN administration, the 6SSRM-02 supports 802.1q trunk ports,
which allow you to use a single port to “trunk” traffic from multiple VLANs to another 6SSRM-02
or switch which supports 802.1q.
Routing
The 6SSRM-02 provides high-speed routing for the following protocols:
• Internet Protocol (IP) – the protocol switching and routing devices use for moving traffic
within the Internet and within many corporate intranets.
• Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) – a protocol by Novell used in Netware products.
Note: All other protocols that require routing must be tunneled using IP.
By default, the 6SSRM-02 uses one MAC address for all interfaces. The 6SSRM-02 can be
configured to have a separate MAC address for each IP interface and a separate MAC address for

each IPX interface. When the 6SSRM-02 receives a packet whose destination MAC address is one
of the 6SSRM-02’s IP or IPX interface MAC addresses, the port that received the packet from the
network uses information in the module’s L3 lookup tables (or information supplied by the
motherboard) to route the packet to its IP destination(s).
You can create only one IP and IPX interface on a single port or VLAN. You can add secondary IP
addresses to the same IP interface. When you add an interface to a set of ports, you are adding a
VLAN to those ports. Ports that contain IP and IPX interfaces can still perform Layer-2 bridging.
IP Routing
The 6SSRM-02 supports the following IP unicast routing protocols:
• RIP v1 and RIP v2
• OSPF v2
• BGP v2/v3/v4
IP interfaces do not use a specific routing protocol by default. When you configure an interface for
routing, you also specify the routing protocol the interface will use.
IP Multicast Routing
The 6SSRM-02 supports the following IP multicast routing protocols:
• IGMP v1 and IGMP v2
• DVMRP v3
The 6SSRM-02 does not use a specific IP Multicast routing protocol by default. Configuring an
interface for IP Multicast simultaneously specifies its routing protocol.
IPX Routing
The 6SSRM-02 supports the following IPX routing protocols:
• IPX RIP – a version of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) tailored for IPX
• IPX SAP – the Service Advertisement Protocol, which allows hosts attached to an IPX network
to reach printers, file servers, and other services
By default, IPX routing is enabled on the 6SSRM-02 when an IPX interface is created.
